Pembina Announces June 2010 Distribution

CALGARY, June 9 /CNW/ - Pembina Pipeline Income Fund ("Pembina" or the "Fund") announced today a June 2010 cash distribution to Unitholders of 13 cents per Trust Unit, to be paid July 15, 2010 to Unitholders of record on June 25, 2010.

Based on internal projections and certain assumptions, Pembina expects to maintain its current distribution level of 13 cents per Trust Unit per month ($1.56 per Trust Unit per year) through 2013. The Fund is currently in the process of obtaining the necessary approvals to convert to corporate form in the latter half of 2010 and expects to distribute $1.56 per share annually to investors as a monthly dividend once the new structure is in place.

A component of the Fund's cash distributions is taxable in the hands of the Unitholder, with the remaining portion a return of capital, unless held in a tax-deferred account. Until conversion, Pembina estimates 75 percent of 2010 distributions will be taxable and 25 percent will be a return of capital for Canadian tax purposes. Pembina's distributions are subject to current domestic tax laws which require a withholding tax from distribution income to nonresidents of Canada. Pembina's 2009 tax information for Canadian and U.S. investors is available at www.pembina.com under the heading "Investors" and at www.cds.ca.

Pembina Pipeline Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund, transports crude oil and natural gas liquids produced in Western Canada, owns and operates oil sands pipelines and has a growing presence in midstream and gas services. Pembina's trust units (PIF.UN) and convertible debentures (PIF.DB.B) are traded on the TSX.
